The book begins by describing in detail the mechanisms of energy
exchange radiative, convective, conductive and evaporative together
with techniques for their determination. The discussion extends to
the importance of CO2, ozone and methane, together with that of
aerosol pollutants and the evolution of atmospheric CO2. Subsequent
chapters apply the results of the biophysical methods to mammals,
birds and aquatic animals. Discussion includes problems of shelter
and shade for animals in tropical environments and techniques for
the thermal evaluation for shelters and for several tree types. The
details of heat exchange between animals and the environment are
presented, in separate chapters covering Mammals and Birds and
Aquatic Mammals. A chapter on Shade and Shelter describes the
importance of shade for animals, factors of shade efficiency, the
protections offered by shelter and methods of calculating the
protection afforded by both shade and shelter. A Special Methods
chapter offers a variety of techniques for evaluating cutaneous and
respiratory evaporation, and practical methods for sampling of
hairs and the evaluation of hair coat characteristics."
